Asus P8Z77-V LE boot problem/power.

This issue is weird and would love to hear from anyone else who has had a similar problem and possibly solution.

If my system is switched off from the power supply for any length of time, my system will not boot back up unless I disconnect the ATX 24 pin plug and plug it back in with the power switch on. Obviously I don't like to do this as I'm playing with fire as far as I'm concerned. The funny thing is, as long as the power switch is never turned off or the power cord disconnected, the system will reboot and restart as necessary.

Just to be sure.... the 24 pin is straight from the PSU into the motherboard? It's not in a case like the Cosmos S that had a an adapter/extender for the capacitive power switch?

If not, it maybe the "power good" (or whatever the official name for the contacts we short to run a PSU without connecting to a motherboard is) connectors aren't making proper contact when they're fully seated, but manage to make a good enough contact during the insertion process? That's wayyyyy out there, but you never know when it's one of these weird symptom snags.
